There is something we all do with or without thinking about.

One thing I tend to think about is when an elevator door opens. No matter where I should be either on land or sea. I always make sure the lift is there before I step in. Weird huh? Anyone with similar I guess peeves is the correct answer. I have read where elevator mishaps do happen on cruise ships. For instance when the electrician on Carnival Ecstasy was crushed to death underway on a cruise doing maintenance. You can google that to verify.

The electrician that was killed was probably due to a lack of lock out- tag out procedures. There should have been a warning hasp ( tag out ) with 4 or 6 holes in it attached to the disconnect switch so no one could turn it on. Each person working on the elevator should have placed his lock into the Tag out . If someone cuts a lock in order to turn on the elevator, and a worker is injured, it is considered a criminal offense. Only the worker is responsible for removing his/ her lock.

That's how we Union electricians do it anyway.

That's how we as non-union did it as well. Always keep 3 or 4 tags on my pouch all the time. Nobody touches my jobs while I'm there.

I almost always take stairs for the exercise. When I have to use the elevator, I’ve never consciously looked to see if it was really there but I’m pretty sure I’d notice. I really hate how people rush in while I’m trying to exit, so I always stand well back when waiting for an elevator to let others off first.

I never think about the elevator problem. In fact, I often get off at the wrong floor because I am busy talking or otherwise distracted. Sometimes I have no excuse but that the elevator just stopped at the floor.

I did go out on one of those clear cutouts where everything is plexiglass- top, bottom & side multi-stories up up on a tower building in Chicago (Willis building, the former Sears building??),. Boy was I careful stepping out. My sister couldn't do it without holding on to my hand in a death grip. My brother-in-law who is a pilot, mind you, couldn't do it except by still holding on to the inside wall. Everyone's idea of terror is different.
